Is there some way to search the census by institution?

Question

I · Answer

Searching through Minneapolis newspapers on Newspapers.com only shows references to the St. Paul location during that time period. For example, https://www.newspapers.com/article/star-tribune/135318723/

A quick internet search indicates that the Minneapolis location of the House closed much earlier. https://thecatholicspirit.com/commentary/echoes-of-catholic-minnesota/frogtown-farm-in-st-paul-was-once-house-of-the-good-shepherd/ 
 
 "At that time, the sisters ran a House of the Good Shepherd at Minnehaha and Victoria in St. Paul and another at Bloomington and South 27th Street in Minneapolis... Proceeds from the baseball game and the closure of the Minneapolis House were expected to pay the interest on the institution&rsquo;s debt to prevent bankruptcy. Going back into the newspapers turns up this article: https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-minneapolis-journal/135319222/

And this: https://www.newspapers.com/article/minneapolis-daily-times/135319330/ In conclusion, you aren't finding it because it ceased to exist some 47 years prior.
